"What's the trouble?" asked Rickie, as if they had been friends for years. "My dear man, we've other things to talk about. Gracious me, what a fuss! If you'd smashed the whole house I wouldn't mind, so long as you came back." "I'd sooner have died," gulped Stephen. "You did nearly! It was I who caught you. Never mind yesterday's rag. What can you manage for breakfast?"
"Your story does not convince." He tapped it. "I have read it with very great pleasure. It convinces in parts, but it does not convince as a whole; and stories, don't you think, ought to convince as a whole?" "They ought indeed," said Rickie, and plunged into self-depreciation. But the editor checked him. "No no. Please don't talk like that. I can't bear to hear any one talk against imagination.
Here Herbert took his seat on a high-legged chair, while Rickie, like a queen-consort, sat near him on a chair with somewhat shorter legs. Each chair had a desk attached to it, and Herbert flung up the lid of his, and then looked round the preparation room with a quick frown, as if the contents had surprised him.
"There is enough money now to get Mary and Maud as good husbands as they deserve." And Mary and Maud took the same view. It was in this plebeian household that Rickie spent part of the Christmas vacation. His own home, such as it was, was with the Silts, needy cousins of his father's, and combined to a peculiar degree the restrictions of hospitality with the discomforts of a boarding-house.
And as Rickie laid his hand on the sleeper's hair, he added, "You won't do anything foolish, will you? You are still in a morbid state. Your poor mother Pardon me, dear boy; it is my turn to speak out. You thought it was your father, and minded. It is your mother. Surely you ought to mind more?" "I have been too far back," said Rickie gently. "Ansell took me on a journey that was even new to him.
Failing noted the half official way in which she vouched for her lover. "But of course Rickie is a little complicated. I doubt whether Mr. Wonham would understand him. He wants doesn't he? some one who's a little more assertive and more accustomed to boys. Some one more like my brother." "Agnes!" she seized her by the arm. "Do you suppose that Mr. Pembroke would undertake my Podge?"
But there was Tilliard, sitting neatly on a little chair, like an undersized god, with not a curl crooked. I should say he will get into the Foreign Office." "Why are most of us so ugly?" laughed Rickie. "It's merely a sign of our salvation merely another sign that the college is split." "The college isn't split," cried Rickie, who got excited on this subject with unfailing regularity.
"I do not want to go," said Rickie, slowly opening his own letter. "As Agnes says, Ansell has refused to come to us. I cannot put myself out for him." "Who's yours from?" she demanded. "Mrs. Silt," replied Herbert, who had seen the handwriting. "I trust she does not want to pay us a visit this term, with the examinations impending and all the machinery at full pressure.
"No. That was Anderson, who keeps below. You didn't see Ansell. The ones who came to breakfast were Tilliard and Hornblower." "Of course. And since then you have been with the Silts. How are they?" "Very well, thank you. They want to be remembered to you." The Pembrokes had formerly lived near the Elliots, and had shown great kindness to Rickie when his parents died.
"But they stop till Monday." "You only think that they are stopping." "But oh, look here, shut up! The girl like an empress " "I saw no empress, nor any girl, nor have you seen them." "Ansell, don't rag." "Elliot, I never rag, and you know it. She was not really there." There was a moment's silence. Then Rickie exclaimed, "I've got you. You say or was it Tilliard? no, YOU say that the cow's there.
